I am planning to side a new house with white cedar shingles. What is best to use between the shingles and the sheathing housewrap or felt paper. Also, should the shingles be back primed or do I have to install some kind of rain screening to keep the moisture that gets through the shingles from reaching the sheathing

Perry,
I use pre-primed shingles and apply over 15# felt, over OSB.

Just say no to house wrap. Go to the short
disertation by Don Lewis in reply to Typar. Finally, someone who understands the insanity of
using building wraps. By all means, use rated
felt paper, and sell your stock in DuPont....
